“This was my first river experience ever and I gotta say that I was very pleased!! She gave daily updates with notes and pictures. Definitely made the time away from my little girl less stressful! Highly recommend”


“Teigan takes AMAZING care of our animals and gives us peace of mind while we are away that our babies are loved. She always sends pictures and updates and truly cares for our animals!”


“My dogs were in great hands with Donavan when I had to leave for a parent’s funeral. Donovan was very flexible with me occasionally changing dates and times as things changed on my end. What I appreciate most is his responsiveness anytime I messaged him- he always got back to me very quickly. He sent pictures and updates daily. All of this really put my mind at ease and I knew I could trust him with my dogs and my home. I will definitely hire him again and I recommend him for anyone needing peace of mind when needing care for their fur babes.”


“We loved Mackenzie! My pupper who is normally super shy bonded with her almost instantly. She took great care of her and always sent cute pics and updates during her drop ins. We definitely plan to use Mackenzie again in the future!”


About: I've had all sorts of pets growing up. I do have medical training and can handle difficult situations. I currently have two dogs that are rescues and a cat that was abandoned at one day old that I hand raised. My younger dog has an autoimmune disease so I am well practiced on giving medications. Thank you. I can schedule my own hours at my job so I'm pretty flexible on when I can be available. I am available weekends usually with no problems. I am unable to bring animals to my home due to renting. I am able to house sit or walk dogs only at this time.

“This was my first time booking with Kiley and she exceeded my expectations. She was hired for a drop in visit but not only showed up on time, but stayed longer than the scheduled 30 mins to make sure my dogs were comfortable. Two out of my three puppers are typically shy around new people, but Kiley was patient and gentle with them. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her as a thoughtful and reliable sitter.”

About: From wiggly puppies to wise old seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s high-energy zoomies, slow-and-steady strolls, or extra TLC for pups who need a little more love, I’m here for it all. I regularly volunteer at local shelters to walk, play with, and even foster animals who need a boost of love and attention. It’s more than just pet-sitting for me—it’s about building trust, comfort, and connection with every animal I meet (and probably falling in love with them a little, too). You can count on me for reliable care, happy tails, and plenty of cuddles. Let’s make your pet feel right at home—even when you’re not! Stay-at-home mama (former elementary teacher) with flexible hours and a heart full of love for pets. Two of my three kiddos are in school during the day, so I’m available to give your pets all the attention they deserve—whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy snuggles. I’m experienced with pups of all ages, love volunteering at shelters, and am all about making pets feel safe, happy, and spoiled. Not quite ready to jump back into full-time teaching, but 100% ready to be your pet’s new favorite companion! In my home, I have a large fenced in yard and indoor kennels. I am good at following directions and will make sure your animal has all their basic needs met.

“Makayla is always very responsive and has been flexible with me when times have changed. She’s wonderful about sending Biden’s or photos to let me see Fiadh is being loved while I’m away. Thank you 🙏”


About: I'm Steve and I have my own very well behaved 5 year old chocolate lab named Beanie. I am new to Rover, but have references from friends that I have pet sat, watched and walked. I'm pretty flexible at the moment, but do occasionally have conflicting doctor appointments. I can come to your house for walks, feedings but cannot stay the night. I have a fenced yard, pet door to the back yard, a sweet chocolate lab, a helpful mother and a good neighborhood. Call me and see if we're a good fit!

“Maria was flexible and communicated quickly. Eevee (our fur baby) loved her and did great, we don't trust many people with her, but I would trust Maria anytime and we will definitely use her again. She was so great with Eevee, and sent detailed messages and pictures back with her. Can't say enough good things! 💜💜💜”


About: I have 15 plus years in the dog training and dog boarding. I have also been a veterinarian assistant for a couple different vets in my area. I can handle any age, breed, or temperment of dogs. I have many references upon request. I am very dependable and can follow through with your current routine for you dog. I am a CGC evaluator for the AKC canine good citizen testing. I offer in home boarding and bathing out of my own home. I can also do dog walking and doggie day care. We are currently trying to get Camaras around the three dog yards we have for owners to see what their pet is doing. I would be happy to help you with any dog boarding, training, bathing needs! I am a stay at home mom. We have 4 children. We are home pretty much 24/7. We do have kids activities occasionally and errands to run. For the most part we give 24/7 care. We have 3 fenced in yards. We separate dogs by size and demeanor. We also have a huge dog room four feet from my bedroom. We create at night like most people do at home.

About: First and foremost, I love animals, and I mean all animals. Anything from frogs to dogs, they’re gettin some love from me. I am super flexible in my availability. I will treat your pets like family, whether that’s some extra cuddles or a run for a pup cup. I’m good with all animals, whether they’re shy or bouncing off the walls, I can adapt and tailor to any animals needs. I am a trustworthy individual, and will provide you with pictures and gps tracked walks if requested. Thank you for considering me to take care of your family! I work as an on call employee for Moore Water and Air. On average I work about 3 or 4 hours a day, Monday-Saturday. I am off on Sunday. I am consistently available from 6:00 am - 3:00 pm during the week. I consistently will be unavailable for 3-4 hours between 3:00 pm and 9:00 pm. If any care would need done after 8:00 pm, I would absolutely be available for that after my shift. I treat any animal in my care as if they were a member of my own family. My animals are very nice and well trained, they interact well with other animals but can be kept separate if need be. As far as care in your home is concerned, I will treat your house as if I’m in my grandmothers. I am used to being in peoples homes for my work and I always treat anyone’s property with the utmost care and respect.

Cheryl L.
“Hi I'm Brennan S. Cheryl is a co-worker and our pet-sitter confidant. She has been watching our animals for the past 4 years for when we go on vacation or have an emergency. My wife is a certified cat breeder (Maine coons) so we don't just let anyone watch our animals because if anything were to happen, we would be out a lot of money. The main thing that we love about Cheryl is how attentive she is with her care. She just doesn't show up to feed and water them. She sticks around and takes time to play with them and attends to all of their needs. I recall one time, we had just had a litter 2 weeks before vacation. While she was taking care of them she noticed that the momma cat wasn't allowing the babies to feed for very long. So Cheryl went to the store and got formula and individually fed the 5 baby kittens. We strongly recommend her to anyone that is in need a caregiver for their fur babies. You will not be disappointed!”

Mica M.
“Mica began her great care of pets with her first adopted puppy while in college. She loved and cared for him after he was abandoned and sick. We kept that puppy that turned into our first family dog for almost a decade more, along with adopting another puppy prior to our engagement. Those 2 were amazing family dogs to our little kids until their time was up. She frequently wants to visit the Humane Society to interact/walk dogs that are in kennels most of the day. She cares for pets like one of her own kids and spoils them rotten. Along with caring, we're now on our 3rd family puppy and they have all been trained at home to be amazing family pets!”
